Apart from some scorched and warped sheet metal, obvious problems with low melting temp bearing metals and packings, and all lubricants / journal pads, etc. it probably isn't as bad as it appears. If I were interested in acquiring a nice small 2-8-2, I'd certainly give it a good inspection and serious consideration. I haven't laid hands on it - perhaps somebody who has done so could comment further.

[quote="Erich Russ"]The coach identified as "New York Central passenger car #215"...

According to my limited records, mostly memory, a number of the K&K LIRR Ping Pongs were from Steamtown Foundation/NPS. Is the "NYC #215" coach possibly the ex-B&A/D&H car numbered SF-221 under Edgar T. Meade's reign in VT?
